Air China moves direct flight service to London Heathrow

China’s largest air carrier to the UK, Air China, will move its direct service between Chengdu and Beijing from London Gatwick to London Heathrow.

Beginning 2 April 2019, Air China will be formally moving its direct service between Chengdu and London to the second busiest airport in the world, London Heathrow. Making a home at Terminal 2, the airline aims to offer passengers a more efficient and convenient flight experience.

Heathrow is London’s principal international airport and just 15 minutes away from Central London via the Heathrow Express.

“Easier and more convenient”

Jingjie Li, general manager, Air China UK commented: “As the national flag carrier of China, we are continuously looking for ways to improve our services and flight routes between the UK and China, so we are excited to announce that our direct flights between London and Chengdu will be operating out of London Heathrow.

Passengers will be able to choose from three weekly flight schedules for flight CA423/4 from Heathrow Terminal 2. The new flight schedule departs on the following dates and times:
